Some Good Ways To Quit Your Job
1. Resign in Person
It is better to offer both an oral and a written resignation. Write a resignation letter that comprises of the following information:
- Your purpose of imparting
- The date when you are resigning
- The date you prefer to impart
- Sign the letter
2. Be Honest, But Be Tactful as As Well.
Although you may be tempted to lay it down dense, it is better to refrain from telling the truth about why you are imparting.
3. Offer to Stay Until They Find Your Replacement
Try to work on a transition plan with your boss to make sure that a proper knowledge transfer is performed. Act responsible to to tie up loose ends, and work together with your boss to assign responsibilities to others.
4. Evaluate the Reasons for your Departure so you Don’t Turn Into a Job Hopper
Do a little self evaluation to determine the factors that keep you at a particular job, or what keep you from staying on. Many companies do frown upon too many employment changes reflected in a resume.
5. Give Sufficient Notice
The official time period to stay on job after you’ve officially resigned is 2 weeks. It is better not to stay any longer than that to protect yourself from unexpected changes involving your new company such as a hiring freeze or a change in management and to avoid awkwardness and ill feelings at your old job.
6. Preserve Your Bridges
Never, ever burn your bridges as you leave. This world is a very small place and most probably you’ll bump into old boss or colleagues at some other point in time, at new places of work.
7. Be Prepared for the Consequences
You will have to take care of a lot of things once you decide upon leaving a job including COBRA, unused vacation time, unemployment benefits, 401K issues etc.
8. Have Another Job Lined Up First
An ideal situation would be if you have the new job offer in writing so that you cover all the bases before making any moves. This way, you have greater control of your situation.
